Friends,
Try deselecting Enable Tx prior to the start of the next cycle instead of hitting the Halt Tx button. Think of the Halt Tx button as a big angry red emergency stop button that slams the brakes on and drops everything. It drops the anchor. Deselecting Enable TX is not so abrupt, and not so tight on timing: if you deselect it at any point in a transmission, the remainder of that transmission continues to the end as normal but your next transmission doesn’t happen. It’s more elegant. More refined. Less screeching of tyres.

I've noticed that as well. Been this way for many versions back. Once the Tx cycle has been initiated (i.e. odd or even Tx has started), and if you then click Halt Tx, the radio will go to receive, the WF will show the signals, but none are decoded for the aborted Tx cycle. At the start of the next cycle, all is normal.

For example, say I'm CQing on even cycles. After a couple, I decide I want to stop CQing if I don't get any replies, so I hit Halt Tx as soon as I see the list of decodes from a just-finished odd cycle. Maybe I am transmitting for a second or two into the adjacent even cycle; but there are never any decodes from it at all even when lots of signals are present in the waterfall. Naively, it seems to me that this doesn't need to happen. I often see FT8 decodes for stations that start late -- as much as 4 seconds late -- in a cycle. So why does missing the first second or two prevent decoding anything? If this could be changed, it would be nice. A few of those wasted 15 seconds add up!
